-Nice realtime strategy game, without much research, but with thick techtree. The main difference, however, is that production depends less on accumulated resources than on income rates. Additional files and info can be found [[http://files.tauniverse.com/|here]] and [[http://www.d-gun.com/|here]]. An open source replica with a very similar design is [[Balanced Annihilation]].

 ===== Network =====
-For Internet games, ports 2300-2400, 47624 (TCP), and 2300-2400 (UDP) must be forwared. The latest patch is recommended for compatibility reasons.
+For direct internet games, ports 2300-2400, 47624 ([[..:network terms:TCP]]) and 2300-2400 ([[..:network terms:UDP]]) must be forwarded. The latest patch is recommended for compatibility reasons. If you enter the IP (or domain name!) of the host, you end up in a lobby showing this particular host's game. In LAN or [[..:network terms:VPN]] only unblock the firewall for that particular game and you are good to go. The [[..:gaming_platforms:Mplayer]] network cannot be used any more.
